Argentium 935 Silver Round Wire, with a diameter of 1.50mm. Argentium Silver is a revolutionary alloy which is stronger, brighter, whiter and more versatile than traditional Sterling Silver. Made with added germanium, Argentium 935 is purer than Sterling Silver, and finishes to a whiter, brighter shine which is comparable to that of fine silver. As it contains much less copper than Sterling Silver, Argentium is also highly tarnish and firescale resistant, and so requires less polishing, less maintenance by customers and does not require plating. Argentium is also stronger and more versatile than Sterling Silver, and can be welded or fused as well as soldered - allowing for a far greater breadth of design possibilities. Argentium is also hypoallergenic, making it perfect for customers who have an allergy to traditional Sterling silver. Please refer to user guides for more information on working with Argentium.

I hadn't worked with Argentium before. I noticed how easily it fuses and mostly didn't need solder. You need to be careful to let it cool down and not move or quench but once you realise that, it's easy to work with good result.

A very good quality item and well packaged

Great size wire for making stacking rings and argentium has a fusing ability that makes the joins easy. I find using argentium flux makes it easier but the thicker wires will fuse well without. Use separate tools and charcoal to not contaminate the argentium and separate pickle. Once heated to bring out the non-tarnishing it will look good for ages. The photo shows 1.5 in early stages of fusing and a D-wire ring that was my first argentium that I deliberately stressed, even though It cracked it has fused back and looks good and has not tarnished after 3 months
